Path of Exile 2 has released its new teaser, which reveals the theme of the new season. Fans are looking forward to an old acquaintance.
What is the theme of the new league? The upcoming season of Path of Exile 2 will be characterized by the new Druid class, but the league mechanic has been unknown until now. The developers have now released a teaser titled “Fate of the Vaal,” which reveals the theme.
As the name suggests, the season revolves around the Vaal civilization. It is an ancient civilization that arose long before the current events of Path of Exile and can be found in the game both in ancient temples and through Vaal Orbs.
Here you can watch the teaser:
Time for Corruption
What can be expected from the new season? With the Vaal as the theme for the upcoming season of Path of Exile 2, players can expect many Vaal Orbs and other corrupting items.
The Vaal Orbs allow players to re-enchant their items to make them even more powerful, but the ancient technology is unpredictable, and an enchantment with the Vaal Orbs can also go wrong, corrupting the items and causing them to lose their good stats.
Enemies can also be affected by Vaal corruption. This can be found in Path of Exile in randomly generated mini-dungeons filled with enhanced monsters. These attack faster and deal more damage.
Mini-dungeons may also receive an update in the new season, thus becoming part of the new season in Path of Exile 2. However, what exactly the developers are planning is still unknown.
How are players reacting to the announcement? Although players of Path of Exile 2 previously thought that the new season focused solely on the Druid class, their attention has now turned to reuniting with an old acquaintance. Fans believe that the teaser shows the young Atziri.
Atziri has been a central figure in Path of Exile as she is the last queen of the Vaal civilization. According to fans, in the teaser, she appears in a younger form on YouTube. Fans are looking forward to this reunion, especially since the character was already a fan favorite in Path of Exile (1).
The new season of Path of Exile 2 starts on December 12 across all platforms. Before that, the developers will showcase what the season is really about on Twitch. The livestream takes place on December 4 at 8:00 PM.
With the Druid, the developers have fulfilled a long-held fan wish. The teaser, however, reveals too little to generate significant anticipation. Besides the cult of personality around the queen of the Vaal, most players are still more interested in the Druids.
